Mixing SemiColor and ColorFix with Regular Shampoo

SemiColor and ColorFix are designed for use in specific semi-permanent hair color formulations, not for mixing directly with regular shampoos.

Here's why:

• SemiColor contains pigments that have a positive charge. Most regular shampoos contain anionic (negatively charged) surfactants, which are incompatible with these pigments. Using SemiColor with anionic surfactants can negatively affect the color's performance and longevity. It is recommended to use SemiColor with non-ionic or amphoteric surfactants and adjust the formula's pH to around 9 for best results.
• ColorFix is an additive used in semi-permanent hair color formulations (like those using SemiColor) to help the color adhere better and last longer. It works in conjunction with the specific base formulation, not as a general additive for any shampoo.

Therefore, you should use SemiColor and ColorFix in a properly formulated semi-permanent hair color shampoo or conditioner base that uses compatible surfactants, rather than mixing them into a standard shampoo.
